Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Whenever I see Ichabod in his period clothes in the 21st century I think, "You're wearing clothes that have been buried for more than 200 years! Eew."

Wait, what??? I thought they were talking about the last episode from two weeks back.

That'll work too, but they were talking about riding, so I don't know. I'm just in "don't want to miss a new episode!" paranoia.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

They really need Ichabod to wander into the thrift store right after somebody dumps off a pile of unwanted Revolutionary War re-enacter costumes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whenever I see Ichabod in his period clothes in the 21st century I think, "You're wearing clothes that have been buried for more than 200 years! Eew."

He's wearing a body that's been buried for more than 200 years. Is this like how Superman's outfit doesn't get burnt to a shred every time he flies into a star, or something?

I can dig the argument that he sticks out like a sore thumb, but unless he looks like a Walking Dead reject I'm not worried about the smell of his outfit.

but they were talking about riding, so I don't know. I'm just in "don't want to miss a new episode!" paranoia.

Okay, now I'm paranoid too, unless you mean juliana's comparison to Lippizaner riders' outfits.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sleepy Hollow is on hiatus until baseball is done.

Which is a shame, because if any show deserves to have an amazing Halloween special, it's this one.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Last episode was #5, "John Doe". Next one is #6, "Sin Eater", slated to air on Nov. 4.

(I was paranoid, too, and went a-researchin'.)

All is well that ends in pizza.

Actually they could easily get him in new clothes that suggest his origins, rather than him sticking with the usual.

He is fairly accepting of the changes in things, I think he would start to see his dress as problematic to keep dealing with.

Also? Who is paying his way in the present?

Inorite?

Maybe next season.

Let there be Jack-o-Lantern flinging, please?

I vote Jilli guest stars as Ichabod's personal stylist to find him some slightly fresher period-appropriate clothing.
